Have confidence in your listing price with an appraisal from JW -Appraisal.

Avoid having your home on the market too long or selling yourself short by getting an appraisal to demonstrate the right listing price.

A lot of sellers are shocked when they find out that the market value of their home is a lot more than they expected, so investing in a professional appraisal actually allowed them to receive several thousand more dollars than they thought they would when their home was sold. There are also plenty of home sellers who think their home is worth much more than it really is, and an appraisal helped them to realistically price their home in order for it to sell. An overpriced property will not attract interested buyers, which means you have wasted time on money and are left with no offers. Every month your house stays on the market is another month you have to pay its mortgage. And you're stuck paying the mortgage while your house is sitting still on the market.

Hiring a licensed appraiser is the best way to get a skillful listing price for your home in today's adapting market.

Working with a real estate agent to sell your property? Then you can expect them to give you a comparative market analysis (CMA) that displays a list of sales in your town. It's a customary starting point in determining your home's listing price. If you're going to maximize your profit and minimize your house's time on the market, this is a vital step.

In our opinion, though, you should also get a pre-listing appraisal from someone who tracks real estate values for living - PRIOR to listing your house - even if you're working with an experienced real estate agent.

And that's where JW -Appraisal comes in! We can perform a pre-listing appraisal so you and your agent have a detailed analysis of the most recent and similar comparable sales and an accurate description of your home's features.

JW -Appraisal can help you decide on a realistic selling price so your house will charm buyers, and we can also:

Help provide advice when negotiating once you have a prospective buyer
Provide written proof of your home's state inside and out to impress buyers
Make you aware of problems and eliminate last-minute repair hassles
Cut down the chances of unexpected complications that can cause sales to crumble
Cut out waiting for the buyer's appraisal to have assurance the sale will go through.

Home improvements that add value

There are so many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your property There are many important questions to ask yourself prior to listing your home -- and JW -Appraisal can help with that. Questions like "Would it be better to paint the entire house before we sell it?", "Should I put in that new bathroom?", "Should I finish my closet remodel?"
